“The Secret Stupid Saudi-US Deal on Syria. Oil Gas Pipeline War””

Why would you taking the assertions of a far left website whose founder is endorsed by Noam Chomsky at face value? The guy also claims that 9/11 was an American conspiracy aimed at getting a pretext to invade Iraq.

Given Russia’s very good record at funding sources to promote disinformation, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Russian treasury were behind the Global Research website. Russian footwork is behind the belief among a good chunk of the black community that the CIA invented AIDS to kill black people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_INFEKTION

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Chossudovsky

Chossudovsky is the son of a Russian Jewish émigré, the career United Nations diplomat and academic Evgeny Chossudovsky, and an Irish Protestant, Rachel Sullivan.[13] Raised in Switzerland, Chossudovsky moved to Canada and joined the University of Ottawa in 1968.[11][14] According to the Ottawa Citizen, Chossudovsky’s academic research kept him “on the margins of mainstream academia,” but won praise from anti-establishment intellectuals, including Noam Chomsky. In 2005, shortly after Chossudovsky began writing about terrorism, the Citizen reported that Chossudovsky’s was “a popular figure among anti-globalization activists,” and that some of his students referred to him as “Canada’s Chomsky.”[11] At that time, some colleagues were becoming uncomfortable with Chossudovsky’s ideas, with one professor describing them as having “a conspiratorial element.”[11]

In 2005, Chossudovsky published the book America’s “War on Terrorism”. According to the New York Times, the “conspiracy-minded book... argued that the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks were simply a pretext for American incursions into the Middle East, and that Bin Laden was nothing but a boogeyman created by the United States”.[9] The book was found in the bookshelf in Osama bin Laden’s compound Abbottabad, Pakistan.[9][15][10] According to Vox, the book’s theory is that “9/11 was a United States government conspiracy to start the Iraq War and enable a “new world order” to help corporate interests. Bin Laden was, at best, a pawn in CIA interests.”[10]

I'm gonna guess that the media's never-ending caterwauling about the the military-industrial complex is steering you towards far left websites like Global Research. Here's the reality of US military spending as a % of the economy - it's far lower than the low teens it was during Eisenhower years, at the end of which he gave that speech:

Leftists used to have a consistent ideology. Today, their ideology is any enemy of America is a friend of mine. That’s why you have a left-wing website like Global Research, that would normally be against all organized religion, defending Iran’s theocratic regime.
